Toulon: Azéma savors

Toulon remains on its momentum. This Saturday evening, on the occasion of the 18th day of Top 14, the RCT won against Stade Toulousain (17-6), on the side of Marseille. What necessarily delight Franck Azéma. At the end of this meeting, the general manager of the club spoke, in remarks reported by theAFP “This victory feels good. Beyond the victory, it is also the content in the character that gives pleasure. At the end of the Montpellier match, we had already seen good things which were confirmed this (Saturday) evening. There are a lot of things going on right now. The group reacts well, in a united way. There were some highlights this week. We have known what is hardest and what is most beautiful with the death of Sergio’s dad (Parisse) and the birth of a child by Cheslin (Kolbe). We necessarily want to savor, with all the people who came and so much the worse for those who didn’t come and when I see the communion this evening, I tell myself that it’s a shame to deprive yourself of it. »

“It’s good to have seen the character of this group”

The only downside certainly came when Parisse then received a red card in the 33rd minute of play: “Everyone was vigilant tonight and no one gave up. We were opportunists. We played as soon as we felt there was a way to do so. We felt that the players did not let themselves be overtaken after the red card. They didn’t give up. »

The Var club is on a series of five consecutive victories, including three in the French championship. This allows the club to occupy seventh place in the ranking: “The Top 14 is so compact at the moment, when I see the other results, it’s good to have seen the character of this group. It will be important for the rest of the season. Everyone has raised the cursor, each player in what he does to have quality. We still have details to improve because we are in a position to get the offensive bonus point on the last action but in any case there is panache and the desire to do well. »
